MENTOR TASKS

NOTE: the best way to figure out what you need to work on is to do 'Ctrl+F' and search for your name. Hit 'enter' to find the next instance. However, some tasks say 'All' so your name won't show up specificallly - Thanks, Dr. B
----- this assumes I haven't misspelled your name!

What do I do with a package that is delivered to lab?:
Open, figure out if it is VDS, show to John G. if there, Label appropriately, Place in proper storage, Place receipt in Dr. B's pigeon hole by the lab notebooks and let him know it has arrived and is stored properly.





LAB WORK
Blue Juice for protein gels - (need DTT - check first) -
Rinse the 'clean' collirollers in nanopure water, transfer to a clean bottle, label - then Autoclave (use autoclave tape) - make students do
Divide up colirrolers in to 6 rollers each in sterile tubes of (600 ul tubes) - make a full ~ 80 tube rack of these - make students do
Autoclave Nanopure water, label, store in Cubby. Make 2 x 500ml. - this is for 1st Lab to make 30% EtOH - make students do
